2nd rate cup.

Who gives? People play it down far too much. The treble season was fantastic and that played a major part in the whole euphoria, it was one of the best cup finals ever. I bet Arsenal wish they'd beaten Gala in 2000.

5 years since we won anything.
A 2nd rate cup is the Superman Cup we won which a lot of people still bang on about.

Not bad I guess.. Midfield and forward line aren't great though.

As soon as it was clear our CL aspirations were over I've wanted us to win this trophy.
At this stage we should be able to rest a few players and offer a few opportunities to the youngsters.
Will there be any highlights about? Won't be able to catch it.

Good strong team. I'd prefer Cole for Maxi but apart from that I want 3 points.

Modo- up your arse with this "second rate cup" shite.
If we win the fucker you won't celebrate at all I take it ?
[/quote]
HA!
I'll celebrate. But it's still a second rate cup. There's pride in winning the European cup 5 times. 4 times as league winners. Still a tournament with the best teams in Europe.
Europa League is the next best thing. A tournament for the left overs. Teams that fail to qualify for the knock out stages in the CL. Even teams that get knocked out in the qualifying stage of the CL get a pass.
Reminds me of some cup competitions I played as a kid, like Gothia cup.
There's A playoffs and there's B playoffs. Europa League is B playoffs (playoffs for teams finishing 3rd and 4th in the group)
Even if you win the B playoffs you're no better than the quarter finalists in the A playoffs.
The only reason I'm watching the game tonight is to see some of the youth players and the reserves.
